title: Complementary individual and group analytic training for future psychotherapists.
abstract: Whereas individual training analysis offers the candidate the possibility of thoroughly working through unconscious tendencies, desires, and anxieties that come to the foreground, a dyadic setting group analysis permits one to observe and to analyze all the many narcissistic, power, and rivalry problems that are activated in a group setting, and to undergo a social learning process. The author describes the value of training for the (later) activity as individual or especially as group analyst. This training includes participation in an analytic self-experience group (psychodynamic group process), supervision by an experienced group analyst of the work done in an analytic group, and comoderating of an analytic group by two psychotherapists.
